…#Fain on Tues said #Trump & #Musk are out of touch w/ #workers.

"Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, & he will always side w/billionaires like #ElonMusk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a #SuperPAC to get him elected," he said, referencing a WSJ report….

The #UAW pres added: "Both Trump & Musk want #WorkingClass people to sit down & shut up, & they laugh about it openly. It's #disgusting, #illegal, & totally #predictable from these 2 #clowns."

"The #UAW has filed federal #labor charges against disgraced billionaires Donald #Trump & #ElonMusk for their illegal attempts to #threaten & intimidate #workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes," the union said in a stmnt issued by spox Jonah Furman.
